How To Get Up When You're Down
How To Get Up When You’re Down
Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. Psalm 42:11
David could’ve gotten discouraged when he was the overlooked child in his family. David could’ve gotten discouraged when he was sent to tend sheep, while his brothers went out to fight for Israel. David could’ve gotten discouraged when King Saul tried for years to kill him, as David had been anointed to be the next King. David could’ve stayed discouraged after he sinned by committing adultery with Bathsheba. Whether it was an attack from someone else, the enemy, or himself - there were many situations in his life to be greatly discouraged and then to stay discouraged. However, GOD was with him! And, he bounced back and moved forward by simple childlike faith and trust in the LORD his GOD!
Have you been down lately? Have you been discouraged? Maybe by what someone has said? Maybe a continual attack against your mind? Maybe the feeling that you have missed out on what JESUS wants to do through your life? Maybe a painful relationship? My friend, JESUS is with you and it’s time to rejoice and move forward!
ACTION POINT
- Take all of the focus off of yourself and the problem; put all of your focus on JESUS!
- Remember what GOD has done in your life and WHO GOD is!
- Rely completely upon the HOLY SPIRIT!
- Live from a place that it is already done!
Now is not the time to be discouraged and it’s never the time to be discouraged! Take authority over the enemy - in JESUS’ NAME! Rejoice and do what GOD has called you to do!
Have a great day and GOD bless you!
